RE: H-2022-0043 / 1235 E McMillan Road/Matador Estates Subdivision
Sonya,
The City of Meridian has requested feedback regarding the proposed annexation with zoning
of R-4 (Medium-low density Residential) and a preliminary plat for the Matador Estates
Subdivision, which will consist of 14 detached single-family homes on 4.3-acres located on
1235 E McMillan Road within the City's Area of City Impact.
Ada County is supportive of the application due to the proximity of the site to existing public
services. Goal 2.2f of the Ada County Comprehensive Plan encourages residential development
to occur at urban densities within Areas of City Impact where public facilities are available. The
application is also compatible with the Future Land Use Map of the Meridian Comprehensive
Plan, as adopted by Ada County, which designates the site as Low Density Residential, which
is primarily intended for single-family homes at densities of three dwelling units or less per
acre.
The layout of the development also complies with many of the goals of the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan. The proposal to dedicate over 11%of the site as open space is compatible
with Goal 3.07.02A, which encourages usable open space to be incorporated into residential
subdivisions.
The extension of the stub street into the site from the west and stubbing to the east is in
compliance with Goal 3.03.03C, which requires street connections between subdivisions at
regular intervals to enhance connectivity and improve traffic flow. The pedestrian connections
provided to the west, east, and north are compatible with Goal 3.07.02C, which requires
pedestrian access in all new development to link subdivisions together to promote
neighborhood connectivity.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Stacey Yarrington
